TAINTED

This is a record of things that existed briefly

Tainted exists as a space where art is not required to explain itself, soften itself, or seek permission to exist. Here, creation is allowed to be uncertain, imperfect, and deeply human — marked by experience rather than polished for approval. This is not a gallery of finished answers but a living archive of feeling, process, and transformation. What you encounter here may not comfort you, and it is not designed to. It is meant to be experienced, to linger, to challenge the distance between observer and artwork until that distance disappears entirely. Enter openly, feel freely

A few prints are however available for purchase in the link above, Originals will be uploaded and made available over time

We hope that pieces that are not available for purchase will held as shared experiences rather than possessions. We trust that what resonates will stay with you — not on your walls, but within your imagination, your conversations, and the way you see the world afterward.

THE IDEA BEHIND THE ARTIST

Fortune Ubawuchi

Visual Artist & Creative Director


My name is Fortune Ubawuchi, also known as Tokyo, and I am a visual artist working across painting, animation, and design. exploring the relationship between dreams and reality, often blending minimalism with surreal and narrative-driven ideas.

I started developing this page to bring everything together — my portfolio, my process, and the work I’m still in the middle of creating. I'd like it to act as a reflection of where I am going, where I’ve been, and the spaces my mind occupies,
To create a space. A place where everything can exist together: finished pieces, unfinished ideas, process, thoughts, fragments.

Because a lot of my work exists in that in-between state.


I’ve been making paintings, prints, clothing — selling some of them, giving some away, keeping others. Some ideas work, some don’t. Some feel like they mean everything, and others disappear the next day. But every day comes with a new idea.

I’m inspired by films, conversations, music, random moments — things that don’t feel important until they are. I like the idea of something being simple on the surface but heavy underneath. Like a scene that doesn’t explain itself, art that leaves more questions than answers

Ultimately, my aim is to develop a body of work that is both cohesive and open-ended — one that invites interpretation while maintaining a strong conceptual identity.

At this point it's not about proving that I have everything figured out.
I think it’s about proving that I’m trying to.
And that might be enough, for now.
Until i decide I that it is time to take the artistry in a different direction.
